Indore Beggar Found to Be Wealthy Property Owner

Indore Beggar Found to Be Wealthy Property Owner

In Indore, India, a man named Mangilal was found to be wealthy even though he was seen begging on the streets.

He owns three houses, three auto-rickshaws, and a car with a driver.

He earns money by lending it to others at high interest rates.

Officials discovered this when they rescued him as part of a campaign to help beggars.

The campaign has helped many people find jobs and go to school.

Mangilal will now be checked by officials to see why he got a house under a government scheme when he already had one.

Some people think he earned his money from begging, but others say he used to work as a mason and faced social problems because of his illness.
